A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 18.1 inches, and standard deviation of 3.7 inches. If one item is chosen at random, what is the probability that it is less than 28.9 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

z = (X - μ) / σ, where X = date, μ = mean, σ = standard deviation

z = (28.9 - 18.1) / 3.7

z = 18.6

0.06681 is the area for this z.

6.681% shall be shorter than 18.6 inches.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
